Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 249 Backing Out

Song Ying said again: "Let's give it a try first. You can't go out to collect herbs during this period. It's almost the New Year, and people will have more money. They can afford to buy things they usually wouldn't. Moreover, one or two cents is not much, and every household can afford it.

Even if there are stingy adults, girls will have lucky money during the New Year and can buy things for themselves. "

Luo Yanxing thought this made sense, so he took advantage of this time to sell the scraps of cloth on hand. It didn't cost him any money anyway, and if he couldn't sell them, the girls could wear them themselves, so he wouldn't lose anything.

If it is feasible, quickly go to Yunxiulou to buy scraps of cloth, make more, and set up a stall to sell them during the New Year period.

"Okay, I'll do it! How about you guys? Do you want to join us?" She looked at the other girls.

Erni and others looked at each other and quickly made a decision: do it!

Song Ying said: "Then make some as soon as you go back and take them to the city to test the effect first."

Luo Yanxing has always been a man of decisive character. Since she has decided to do it, she simply said, "It's still early today, why don't we go to the clinic and make some quickly and sell them this afternoon!"

Song Ying thought about it and gave her all the hairbands in her hand. "Then sell these too. Make three or four of each material and style later and see which one sells the best. Then decide which batch to make first."

Luo Yanxing took the hairband and said, "Okay, sell these first, and we'll make some more for you later."

"We will all be selling hair ties in the future, so why stockpile them? Just take one or two when you need them."

Luo Yanxing thought about it and felt that this was the truth, so he didn't say anything more.

After thinking for a while, Erni said with some concern: "If this business really takes off, do I still have to give half of the money to my family?"

Song Ying pursed her lips and did not answer.

According to her own thinking, she would naturally not give it. She braved the severe cold, earned a penny or two, and then gave half to her family. How much would be left?

But she is not Erni and the others, so she cannot make decisions for them.

This question dampened the girls' excitement.

Tian Fang immediately said, "Forget it, I won't get involved in this business. Well, Pan Di and San Niu probably won't do it either."

All the money the three of them earned from collecting herbs had to be handed over to the family, and they could only get a small portion.

Even if they only had a few dollars, their families would often use various excuses and methods to coax or force them to spend the money to buy other things.

After contributing money to Zhao Xiaocui's dowry, they had very little money left. They also needed money to buy scraps of cloth. She was hesitating just now, but now when she thought about having to pay the money to her family, she suddenly didn't want to do it anymore.

She backed out, and Erni and the Zhou sisters also hesitated. Although they did not have to pay the majority of their earnings to their families, they had to pay half.

It would be fine if this business was very profitable, but if it wasn't profitable, and they had to pay half, then they were just asking for trouble.

Luo Yanxing was dumbfounded. "No, you guys don't do it, only Song Ying and I do it?"

Song Ying quickly waved her hand: "I have to memorize my lessons, I don't have time to sell hairbands."

Luo Yanxing: "...No, if none of you do it, I wouldn't dare to do it alone."

"What's there to be afraid of? Sister Yanxing, you are so good at fighting, are you afraid of being beaten?" Zhou Meiyue said.

"No matter how good I am at fighting, can I beat the thugs in this city?" Luo Yanxing rolled his eyes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Erni and the other two who were still hesitating immediately stated that they would not sell the hairbands.

Zhou Meiyue said: "No matter how many of us there are, the hooligans will always cause trouble for us. If you can't beat them, Sister Yanxing, we will be even more miserable."

Erni tactfully said that she was old and her family was considering arranging a marriage for her. If she was entangled by gangsters and her reputation was ruined, how would she find a husband?

After saying this, Erni was terrified. She was so focused on making money that she forgot about this most important thing.

Luo Yanxing felt like he had shot himself in the foot. "Just kidding, but you really don't sell hairbands anymore?"

“It’s not appropriate for me to sell hairbands at this stage now,” Erni said firmly.

"What about you two?" Luo Yanxing looked at the Zhou sisters. "Grandma Qian is kind and easy to talk to. You can talk to her and ask her not to hand over the money from selling the hairbands. She should agree."

Compared with other families, the Zhou family is much more open-minded. When it came to the name issue, they took the initiative to give Song Ying sugar to help them choose a name. This was the first time for a girl to do so.

"No, my grandma won't agree." Zhou Meiyue shook her head like a rattle. "My grandma attaches great importance to these rules. She hates keeping things to herself. If you didn't hand over only part of your money, she wouldn't let my sister and I keep the money."

Song Ying thought back to the day when the incident happened, Qian's righteous words about rules and keeping secrets, and he felt that it was impossible for Qian to allow the Meiyue sisters not to hand it over.

She felt that Qian was a person who attached great importance to her power and authority. In her opinion, the younger generation did not hand over the money they earned, which was a challenge to her authority as the mistress of the house.

Erni couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Yanxing, don't push Meiyue and the others. Their whole family is working hard to save money for Meiyue and their future brother."

The Zhou family had always had only one son. After Xiao Qian came into the family and gave birth to the twin sisters Meiyue, there was no more movement in her belly.

In the entire Xinghua Village, apart from Luo Yanxing's parents, the Zhou family wanted a son the most.

Zhou Meiyue pursed her lips, her eyes filled with bitterness and sadness. They didn't have a younger brother, but they were already making concessions for their future younger brother.

Sister Yuzhi was able to marry into the He family because of her grandfather’s words. On the wedding day, when they thanked the matchmaker, Mr. He also thanked her grandfather as the matchmaker, and among the gifts he gave was a very beautiful piece of cloth.

She and her sister wanted to make new clothes, but grandma said that the cloth should be saved for her future brother to make clothes.

There are many such things in daily life. Whether it is the family’s money or other good things, they must be left to the younger brother who is not even there yet.

Seeing that the Zhou sisters were so sad, Luo Yanxing naturally couldn't twist them anymore. She turned to look at Song Ying, opened her mouth and closed it again.

Song Ying is studying medicine seriously. After she finishes her studies, she can set up a clinic to see patients, which is a thousand times better than selling hairbands on the streets.

She looked at everyone and pouted, "You guys are too stupid. How can you back out before you even start?"

No matter how she complained, the girls were determined not to sell the hairbands.

It was no use trying to persuade him, Luo Yanxing was extremely angry.

Zhou Meiyue advised, "Sister Yanxing, why don't you just stop selling? It's so cold, I don't know how long it will take to sell one, and a hairband only sells for a few cents. If you're unlucky, you may only be able to sell a few a day. It's not worth it to suffer the cold for such a small amount of money."
